Halting the Progression of Cicatricial Alopecia with Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin

The document discusses a case study of a 32-year-old female with Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), a condition that often leads to cicatricial alopecia. The patient was treated with various therapies, including injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), which was found to be particularly effective in promoting hair regrowth. The study suggests that early and aggressive treatment in rapidly progressive DLE can potentially reverse early alopecic patches and protect hair follicles from further damage. It also proposes i-PRF as a supplementary treatment method in active DLE cases. However, the study emphasizes the need for larger and long-term trials to confirm the effectiveness of i-PRF.
